Loogy, why jump on this as a political thing? I have a niece who is a
veggan. She's also a conservative. She's also weird, which she wasn't
until she started the veggan stuff. Nothing political about it.
One of my sisters started telling me about how chickens do not have
room to even stand up in the chicken factories. I gave her a blank
look and then replied, "This is 2009, why do chickens still have feet,
we have no use for chicken feet". She says, "What, you expect them to
fly all the time?" After some consideration, I said, "Yes, we could
implant magnets in the chickens and levitate them, that way the number
of chickens would not be dependent on the area of the chicken factory
but on the volume. There would be a rain of feed from the top and a
conveyor feeding legless chicks from the top. As the chickens grew,
they would sink to the bottom to be carried away, easy engineering
problem. God, chicken feet, what a bizarre idea". She gave me a
horrified look and walked away.
